The official WordPress.org Plugin Directory has received a rather significant redesign. With over 19,000 plugins listed, the team took some time to revisit this highly popular destination for the millions of folks using WordPress.
Right off the bat, you should notice a new ability to to mark your preferred plugins as Favorites. Each plugin page now has a new Support tab populated with the plugins’s support thread, and a super-handy chart showing you the resolved vs. open thread count so you can see at a glance how well supported a plugin is. Finally, there is much more focus on the authors this time around and some improved styling over all.
What do you think of the newly redesigned plugin directory?
